English wine has improved exponentially and is now highly regarded. Visit the Hush Heath Winery and try it. Along with Jakes cider made from their own apples and tasty charcuterie platters. Lovely walks round the estate and three free wine samples in the lovely tasting rooms and terrace overlooking the vineyard.

The Royal Military Canal was constructed to help fight off a Napoleonic Invasion but is now a place where you can have a peaceful and scenic walk or hire a boat and go for a row. The canal is easily accessible in Hythe, an attractive town with a good beach. Every two years since 1898, the town has hosted the Hythe Venetian fete with a floating procession. The pictures show August 2019

Excellent Nepalese food in Hythe. Military base and consequent presence of Gurkhas nearby ensures authenticity.

The memorial is in a stunning location, overlooking the Straits of Dover where so much action took place. Free to access. Good visitor centre with optional exhibition (£5 ), helpful if you dont really know how important this 6 month ‘Battle’ was. Small cafe and viewing platform. Lovely cliff top walks near at hand. Visit the Cliff Top cafe half a mile away.

As we were only allowed to eat outside ( Covid regulations) and the weather was wet, I was very pleased to find Twenty Four with its perspex canopy on our visit to Hythe. The good was excellent both in terms of quality and presentation. Very good portion size for lunchtime too. They are a delicatessen and greengrocers who pride themselves on local produce and have branched out very professionally into serving meals.

Quirkily appointed beach cafe serving good quality breakfasts and lunches. I appreciated the bottomless Builders tea. Pic shows Ralph about to tuck into his breakfast panini. Wellingtons was established in 1937 and is still going strong. We had window seat and beach view
